These chapters are really long. They range from about 4 to 10 A4 pages long, but they do have breaks in between. I will not attempt to post an entire chapter in one post...there must be a word limit on LJ...It must have been centuries ago when this story began.
It is a funny thing what power time has to change memories. Clear crystals once, then...fragmented and abraded beyond recognition. Who may know the real story? Who is there to remember?
This story begins when The Greenlady was still known by her real name, Arianna du Maine, daughter – beautiful, precious daughter – of a long-running aristocratic family. It had no doubt been a pleasant surprise to learn that their child was determined by the Sorcerer Council as the next full-fletched sorcerer. Where most sorcerers held only partial command of magic, there were, once a lifetime, two sorcerers born with the potential for complete mastery.
Why two? Perhaps random chance...or perhaps, one of the numerous gods foresaw the fragility of the human heart when tempted by power.
( Arianna remains clear in my earliest memories... )
